[WWI] Added:Lloyd 40.16

Thanks Dave!

The kit has long sections of track for above and below the road wheels, so I glued each pair end to end, then noticed they would interlock together side by side if offset a bit.  I glued each pair together to get the proper chord, which was nearly spot on for the top wing and had to be narrowed just a bit for the lowers.  I filled all the holes with putty, cut the wings to length, made the cutout, did a bit more filling and sanding, cut the fillets on the ailerons, shaped the wing tips and was done.

The three view drawing from the FMP A-H book was a HUGE help.  I scaled it down and made several copies, then cut out the bits and pieces to use as templates.  This being a slab sided aircraft with a gap filling fuselage, four struts, no interplane rigging and internal control cables, made for a pretty easy build.
